Many netizens think that the Angel alum crossed a line, especially with the original caption:“Your eldest son will be the most toxic guy you ever date.”Jenny Mollen, 47, has since removed the caption and replaced it with a dot/ period. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn the wake of the viral post, a rumor surfaced that Jason Biggs had addressed the controversy. The Before He Cheats Gang Facebook page shared the recent picture of Mollen and her son and another where she and Jason held young Sid in their arms. The collage was captioned with an alleged quote from Biggs:“‘Stop using our innocent 12-year-old child for cheap social media attention!’ – Jason Biggs delivers a ruthless final ultimatum to separating wife Jenny Mollen after tragedy.”The post also came with a lengthy write-up, which read:“‘I am physically sick.’ Jason Biggs just broke his silence, and he is not holding back. After Jenny Mollen shared a controversial bedroom photo with their 12-year-old son alongside a highly disturbing caption, the internet erupted. Jenny tried to laugh it off, blaming their current marital separation for the backlash. But Jason isn't buying it. He just issued a savage, line-in-the-sand ultimatum that is rocking Hollywood.”The Facebook post insinuated that Jason Biggs discovered something “appalling” in his estranged wife’s private journals and that something inappropriate was happening to their son behind closed doors, which was described as the “dark reality” that was crumbling the celebrity family.A link affiliated with the ‘Before He Cheats Gang’ page was also provided for a “full explosive breakdown” on the story. However, both the Facebook account and the dnews.topnewssource.com website are known for parody and misleading content. Jason Biggs did not call out Jenny Mollen over the viral photos with their son.In fact, the American Pie star hasn’t publicly commented on the controversy as of writing.Exploring Jenny Mollen’s response to the backlash and her past controversiesLast month, Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs announced their separation after 18 years of marriage. A representative for the couple told PEOPLE on May 14 that while they have separated, they remain on “great terms” and were focused on co-parenting their sons, Sid, 12, and Lazlo, 8.Another insider informed the publication that the estranged pair is “doing great” and even spent Biggs’ 48th birthday together as a family on May 12.“They are very much connected. I have no doubt that they will remain on excellent terms,” the source added.Now, in the wake of the controversy and backlash, Jenny Mollen responded via a series of Instagram Stories, writing the overblown reaction to her post was seemingly due to her recent split with her husband.“It’s like because I’m getting separated, because I’m not protected by the institution of marriage, I’m suddenly like a different kind of target in what I’m posting. Like this is absolutely jaw-dropping. A photo of me hugging my 12-year-old child is getting ridiculed,” the mom of two wrote.For the unaware, Jason Biggs crossed paths with Jenny Mollen on the set of their 2008 romcom movie My Best Friend’s Girl. After only a few months of dating, they got engaged in January and eloped and married in April of the same year. In July, they held a second wedding ceremony in Napa and exchanged vows in front of 40 guests comprising close friends and family.Sid was born in February 2014 and Lazlo arrived three years later in October.For years, the family of four lived on Sunset Strip near Los Angeles. But in 2015, the couple sold their California home and moved to Manhattan, New York City. Since 2017, they had been living in the West Village.Most recently, the now-estranged couple appeared in the comedy feature film Influenced. Biggs was also seen in one of Mollen’s November 2025 Instagram posts. It was captioned:“A totally approachable couple not trying to seduce you.”They also celebrated each other’s birthdays last year, as well as their 17th anniversary.This is not the first time Jenny Mollen has become the face of controversy in recent years. In November 2024, she boarded a five-hour flight from Los Angeles to New York City and was seated in first class with head lice infestation.At the time, Mollen wrapped a plastic bag around her head and recorded her journey, claiming she thought it was her “perimenopause symptoms” that were causing her head itch and later realized she had lice when she was already in the air. In a follow-up video, she also claimed to have spread the lice to her husband and kids. In the wake of this, she received online backlash.Before that, in October 2022, Jenny went infamous due to a computer-generated pretend email exchange with her elder son’s teacher. Her original post had three slides. The first one showed an email from the teacher to Mollen. It read:“Dear Ms. Biggs. Today in school, your son shared with his classmates that you are in Copenhagen on an adult trip and have been eating (pardon my language) ‘tons of p*nis.’ While I hate to bother you on your vacation, I felt strongly that you should be aware and perhaps address the issue at your earliest convenience.”The next slide featured the cookbook author’s humorous response:“Dear Karen, He’s not lying. I have been eating tons of p*nis on this trip. Def gonna need to reign it in when I get home. Thank you so much for checking in on me. See you at drop off! Jen.”The final slide showed a photo of a tasting menu from Noma, a 3-Michelin star restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark. A dish from its “Game and Forest Season 2022” series was called “Reindeer p*nis ragout,” and it was circled in pink for context.Variety And Women In Film Emmy Nominee Celebration Powered By Samsung Galaxy - Mercedes Benz - Source: GettyAt the time, many found the whole thing humorous, while some thought it was inappropriate. Meanwhile, Jenny Mollen clarified to TODAY Parents in an interview that she indeed enjoyed the dish at Noma but didn’t exchange an email with her son’s teacher.“The dish happened to be delicious, by the way. It was sort of seedy and rice-y. I didn’t even know what I was eating until after I saw the menu. They don’t tell you. Then I asked, ‘What part of the reindeer was that? It looked like little pieces of calamari or something. And they said, ‘That was a p*nis.’ I thought that was so funny, so I told (my son).”She also claimed to be “killing herself laughing” while making the whole fabricated correspondence and explained her husband was “so mad” as he had to face everyone at school about the fake email, while Jenny was sitting at home.Less than 24 hours ago, Jenny Mollen also shared her latest blog on Substack based on the controversy, the end of marriage, motherhood, and more.
